“…All types of AMD are formed due to the contact between air, sulfide minerals (FeS/pyrite) and air. Pyrite rocks commonly found in mining areas and closely related to the formation of AMD include pyrite (FeS), marcasite (FeS 2 ), pyrrhotite (FexSx), galena (PbS), chalcocite (Cu 2 S), chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2 ), arsenopyrite (FeAsS), molybdenite (MoS 2 ), covellite (CuS) and sphalerite (ZnS) (Mkandawire, 2020) . Land clearing in open mining areas will oxid iron sulfide to ferrous iron and sulfur and contain a low pH, and the Eq reaction can describe this condition.…”

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a significant threat to the environment due to its high acidity and metal ion content. To effectively eliminate pollutants from AMD, various approaches are necessary. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of recent advances in AMD mitigation. While treatment technologies have developed to eliminate AMD, they often produce sludge as a by-product and require expensive maintenance. As a cost-effective alternative, the recovery of AMD resources can reduce toxicity and promote reuse of heavy metals and rare earth elements. This review also analyzes the challenges and prospects of AMD mitigation implementation, including current mitigation conditions and knowledge gaps. Researchers can benefit from this review by gaining insight into research progress in this area, identifying strengths and weaknesses of current AMD mitigation applications, and exploring future research directions.
